instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

    2

    In a medium pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes until tender.

    3

    While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion.

    4

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

    5

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and add them to the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to brown slightly.

    6

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper.

    7

    Pour the beaten eggs over the potato and onion mixture in the skillet. Cook on medium-low heat until the edges start to set, about 5 minutes.

    8

    Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate, the goal is to cook the other side. Slide the tortilla back into the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until fully set.

    9

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
